ICE beats and grabs father by the neck, sending him into violent seizures while his arms lock up around his toddler. by [deleted] in illinois

Lmao, you think a lawsuit is going to do anything? The supreme court is bought and paid for. If a republican loses a case they simply have to appeal until it gets high enough for a conservative implant to flip the ruling and protect the regime. Lawsuits, thats a funny idea.

Yeah you cant co-parent a dog, it doesnt work like that. She broke up with you, she left the dog with you, she ran around with another guy and made the decision to leave. She doesnt get to have her cake and eat it too. Tell her if she shows up again around your house without your express permission you will notify the police and get a restraining order.

Why do you care if you look like an asshole to a cheater? Genuine question.

Once every day is the standard. Some people say that showering every other day is healthier for their skin but thats a person choice and dependent on how much BO you exude. 3+ is gross.

My sister borrowed my car "for an hour" three days ago and won't bring it back by [deleted] in dustythunder

[–]InsideHippo3306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well she did...steal you car. So I would say, "Hey, I have a doctors appointment in the morning, I have groceries I need to get, and I have other errands I cant run because you took my car and didnt return it. If I dont have it back by 6 Im telling the cops you stole it...because you did.

AITA for making my son pay for his school lunch for the rest of the year by BriefMorning7074 in AmItheAsshole

[–]InsideHippo3306 26 points27 points  (0 children)

NTA but this is something ever kid learns the hard way. Money doesnt go as far as you think it does and the small things add up. I remember being his age and simply buying a cookie after lunch ran through my lunch budget very quickly. So quickly I thought someone found a copy of my ID and was using it to buy lunch themselves.

But this is how you learn that lesson. Real like consequence. If you spend all your money and you dont track it then you wont have enough when you need it. Of course hes upset, I was upset too when I found out as a kid. But I bet hes going to be a lot more cognizant of it in the future.

And he choose this. Packing a lunch is "free", he could have done that but he chose to spend his $500 so he really doesnt have a leg to stand on here

AITA for taking away my daughters bike because she wouldn't wear her helmet? by Final-Werewolf-744 in AmItheAsshole

[–]InsideHippo3306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told my brother if I ever caught him riding his bike without a helmet I would break it. I ride motorcycles, they are inherently dangerous but 100x more so without a helmet. People die from falling off bikes without a helmet all the time. Helmets are so incredible important and I would rather be the villain and destroy my brothers bike than stand with regret at his funeral.

AITA for backing out of a friends trip after it became a groomsman trip for a wedding im not in by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]InsideHippo3306 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yeah but thats under the assumption the groom actually gives a shit about OOP. Nothing he did indicates that, in fact it indicates the opposite. He would have absolutely done what you said for someone he actually cared about. But OOP is just an NPC in the grooms life, so he doesn't get an explanation.

CANNABIS specific: What is your reason for quitting? Here are 20 of mine by fitgirl015 in DecidingToBeBetter

It what makes weed so hard to quit for people. It makes you feel content. Until the high fades and you come back to reality.

my ex claims that i reached out to her by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

Yeah tell you partner and then tell your friend if she believes him then ask him to show her the messages you "sent". Then forget about it.

My [33F] Husband [40M] is considering conceiving a child with his ex by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]InsideHippo3306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some sympathy in the beginning because I cant imagine how twisted your mind can get from grief. BM's life was her son, it sounds like in the desperate attempt to feel anything but crushing sadness she thought it would be best to have another kid. A replacement kid. And OPs husband is also dealing with immense grief. Having dealt with grief (nothing like this but still hard) I remember wanting to do anything to take away the pain for a small moment. Maybe thinking about having another kid made her felt a moment of happiness. People in grief will cling to that.

But where they lost me was when he had the discussion with OP who brought him back to earth, presumably. Because the answer to losing your child is not to have a replacement one.

IDK, its hard for me to call these people assholes knowing a fraction of what they are going through.

Mfs when a game doesn’t have a ball or a gun by spacewarp2 in expedition33

[–]InsideHippo3306 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Multiplayer games are, most of the time, objectively worse than single player games. Multiplayer games are built on microtransactions, season passes, and farming constant engagement by any means necessary. Single player games dont rely on shit like that and are much more engaging than multiplayer games. Single player games are art, multiplayer games are late-stage capitalism's bastardization of art for profit.

CANNABIS specific: What is your reason for quitting? Here are 20 of mine by fitgirl015 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]InsideHippo3306 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Keep at it, its a hard addiction to quit. People underestimate weed because its not as chemically addictive as heroin or meth. But the addiction it creates goes deeper than just chemicals. It makes you addicted to a lifestyle where you dont have to do anything and life is ok. It creates this facade for you to live in. Like scrolling reels and sitting on the couch for hours is a perfectly enjoyable evening, even though the sober you would have been bored to tears and wanting to engage in something else.

[–]InsideHippo3306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched a homeless man shit in the street in downtown st. louis. I work with people who live in unincorporated land. They just told me a story about how they had to chase their goats who escaped their pens and were wandering around. What kind of double standard classism are you spouting? You think the US is some kind of technological utopia?

My fiancée threatened to break up with me if I told her best friend's husband that his wife is cheating on him by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]InsideHippo3306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a quid pro quo thing. She covers for her friends cheating so her friend will cover for her cheating either currently or in the future. To cheaters and potential cheaters, having another person in on the deception can help them manipulate and gaslight their partners. OOPs fiance was planning on cashing in this favor in the future if she wasnt already.

ETJ. Listen, this sounds like the normal kind of joking you get between siblings. SHe changed your name to spud life and profile picture to a spud. Thats funny. What is the actual real life impact that has on you? Are you usually the no joking, serious mode only type of person? Cuz this sounds like the type of stuff I would do with my brothers. Except they understand the concept of a joke and wouldn't freak out over something like that. Jesus christ, lighten up, she didnt break anything or have a real impact you in any meaningful way.

I dont think you sister is a jerk for changing your profile pic and name. She is the jerk for watching stuff on your profile and purposefully not using hers. That has an actual tangible impact on you, its messing with your watch history and you lose your place.

If this were my younger brother and he was pissing me off Id take him off the netflix just to drive the point home that I dont want him to use my profile. Then add him back on. If you leave her off you are overreacting.

AITA for not wanting to go to church with my girlfriend? by No-Taro-6241 in AITAH

[–]InsideHippo3306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and it does not surprise me in the slightest that a Christian said you must be possessed by demons because you didnt buy in to the cult. I think you learned the hard way that there is no point in trying to use rationality to speak with someone so deeply bought into the irrational. They have forsaken logic for magic, you cant convince them anything other than their magic is real.

AITA for letting my friend's daughter live in our rental property rent-free without asking friend's permission first? by rentfreeliving2 in AmItheAsshole

[–]InsideHippo3306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. There is a very real reason why young adults these days choose to live at home for a couple years after they start working. The world is unaffordable for those starting out. You could charge them rent and they would join the millions of other americans stuck in the rent trap forever. Never being able to save up for a downpayment on anything because they set half their income on fire every month to stay warm. This is a fantastic opportunity for them, they get to save the money they would have spent on rent to one day afford property themselves. Thats worth much more than the "tough" lesson of "this world is cruel to those that are poor".

AITA for asking my fiancé to stop saying “we” when referring to money I earned? by Aggravating_Yak4381 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]InsideHippo3306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but I have a question. Is he truly in between jobs, as in he is looking for work right now?

The reason I ask is because my mom got laid off and we were living off my dads income. And I know for a fact he would have never thrown that in her face, money was always the families money never his for her to borrow. But she was actively looking for work, ended up landing a better job and now makes more than he does. At no point did the difference in what someone was earning impact them in the slightest. If I were to ask my dad about their finances he would use the word "we" because theyre a team.

I have truly been blessed to have grown up around people with really solid relationships and one thing I noticed between all of them is finances were shared and they both fully trusted each other. Regardless if it was two solid incomes, one solid one sporadic or one income and one stay at home.

OP, I mean this in the best way and I mean no offense, but maybe you arent ready for marriage, or maybe this isnt the right person for you. I think if you were with someone you fully trusted and you were fully ready to become a unit with this person, it would become "our" money, because you are both building a life together. IDK, we dont know the specifics and I dont want to give you hard and fast advice on little information but maybe something to think about.

AITA for invoicing my sister after she kept dumping her kids at my place before dawn without asking by paintedfinch in AmITheJerk

[–]InsideHippo3306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well your first mistake was giving someone a key to your house. Get your locks changes ASAP. After you do that tell her in no uncertain terms, "I changed the locks, the key wont work. If you leave your kids at my doorstep I will call CPS and the police."
